Dayābāī says that the Holy Name of Śrī Hari is the boat that carries one across the ocean of material existence (bhava-sāgara), and the Guru is its helmsman. If one genuinely performs the true association of a saint, then crossing this ocean of worldly existence does not take even a moment of delay.
Renounce all else and seek only the association of holy saints, for true satsanga alone awakens devotion, spiritual wisdom, and detachment, while leading the soul to uninterrupted love for the Divine Couple, Śrī Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa.

A spiritual aspirant should constantly chant the holy name of his most beloved Mahāprabhu, Śrī Vallabha, and continually sing His supremely sacred glories.

O brother, this is an undeniable truth that in both this world and the other world, no real relationship can exist without pure love.

Therefore, never lose this most blessed fortune of residing in this holy land.
